Each year, over 1700 young people from all walks of life learn to sail a tall ship with SALTS! We provide "training, by the sea, for life!"

School or youth
groups participate in five-day voyages to the Gulf Islands each spring and fall. Individual young people join in nine- or ten-day
summer voyages along the east or west coast of Vancouver Island or a 5-day
spring break voyage to the Gulf Islands. Every few years, an
offshore voyage is launched to destinations such as the South Pacific, Far East, Australia, or Europe.
Bursaries are provided for those who cannot afford the full program cost. We partner with numerous other community organizations to provide bursaries to young people from challenging life situations (cognitive disabilities, at-risk, cancer recovery, recent immigrants, etc). People of all ages can participate in
Day Sails by becoming Society
members. Our mission is to develop the spiritual, relational, and physical potential of young people through sail training, shipboard life, and associated activities in a Christian environment.
